I fear that the film may have the same effect a so-so video has on a brilliant song. You know how it goes.

The Trooper Project, which ended in February, was apparently a dud. But last week it blew up in Starr’s face, raising new questions about his probe at a time when the political world is wondering where - and when - the three-year, $30 million effort will end.

Indeed, 10 million is on par with analyst predictions that the PS4 would sell 12 million units by the time the year was up (and we still have the busy holiday period to go). It’s also a boon for Sony that the PS4 has leapt out of the gate far quicker than its predecessor, the PS3. But just why is the PS4 doing so well this time around? Sony says they have no idea but a new survey from Nielsen suggests that the answer lies in last-gen gamers who have switched allegiances....

Walker, who suffered a leg injury, was one of the lucky ones. Eighty-one of the 179 passengers on SQ006 died, including 24 Americans.

The disaster struck one of the world’s safest planes (the 747-400) operated by one of the world’s safest airlines (Singapore Airlines). What went wrong?...

Behind this drama is a seemingly simple problem that has balkanized the Hippocratic community.

That day, on August 7, shortly after many parents saw their children off to school for the first week since summer break, ICE arrested as many as 680 workers across seven plants in the state. While many families saw their loved ones released, others saw their parents, spouses, relatives, friends and coworkers deported or forced to pay heavy bonds to secure their release.

The trailer for Men begins with Buckley’s character, Harper, arriving at a secluded house in the English countryside where she’s greeted by the seemingly friendly caretaker Geoffrey (Kinnear). Things seem innocent enough at first until Harper takes a bite of an apple from a tree in the garden, which seems to bother Geoffrey. He claims he’s joking, but his menacing tone suggests otherwise. Harper is also haunted by the image of a man falling as she stares out of a window in horror....
